LeRoy Kimball, the man behind the restoration of the historic homes and buildings in the one time Mormon community of Nauvoo in western Illinois, will be honored at a special program and reception Thursday evening, at the Capitol Theatre in Dr. Salt Lake City. The tribute is sponsored by friends, associates and former missionaries who served in the Nauvoo Mission of The LDS Church when Kimball was the mission president. After 19 years as president of Nauvoo Restoration, Inc., Kimball is being honored for his efforts to preserve and restore elements of a city that at one time was larger than Chicago. As a feature of the program, excerpts from the Nauvoo pageant, City of Joseph, will be staged under the supervision of the author, R. Don Oscarson of Philadelphia; Maughn McMurdie, McComb, 111., musical composer and director; and F. Gerald Bench, Platteville, Wis., choreographer and director. Also assisting are Ron Mitchell and Terry McComb of Salt Lake City. Among those expected to be on hand to pay tribute to Kimball will be general authorities of the church, members of the original and current board of trustees of N.R.I., city and state officials, family and lifelong friends and associates of Kimball. A tribute will be presented by Elder Mark E. Petersen of the LDS Quorum of Twelve Apostles and a bronze bust of Kimball will be unveiled by President Spencer W. Kimball, world leader of the church. The bust is the work of noted Utah sculptor Edward Fraughton. Elder L. Tom Perry, member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles, and David M. Kennedy, special representative to the First Presidency and former N.R.I. trustee, will also participate. Kimball, a Salt Lake cardiologist, has been the driving force behind the establishment of Nauvoo organization. He sowed Restoration, Inc., a the seeds of the revitalization of Nauvoo in 1954 when he purchased the red brick Heber C. Kimball home from its St. Louis owner. Kimball is the of Heber C. Kimball who was a counselor to 19th century church President Brigham Young. ' At the time he acquired the deteriorating old house, Kimball never dreamed that it would one day lead to a vast restoration project for portions of Nauvoo. He had intended to use the house as a place to occasionally get away from the pressures of his medical practice. But his personal restoration work attracted attention and soon people were coming from far and near to tour the restored home. Kimball then acquired other derelict properties with historic significance in Nauvoo which, founded by the Mormons, became a major city in Illinois before most of its inhabitants migrated west to the Great Salt Lake Basin in 1846. He bought, among other properties, the houses that had once belonged to Brigham Young and Wilford Woodruff, both of whom eventually served as president of the Church. After he had spent more than a hundred thousand dollars of his own money, the church offered its aid and in 1962 Nauvoo Restoration, Inc., was organized. Under the leadership of Kimball, N.R.I. has over the years restored some 76 homes and shops and many thousands of visitors annually make their way to the now sleepy hamlet on the Mississippi River to inspect the results.
